Chapter 433\u00a0<\/p>\n
After his failed attempt to plead with Larissa, Leopold ate the rejected breakfast himself and then went to look at apartments, his spirit crushed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had spent the night waiting outside the Judson estate scrolling through rental listings and had found a decent four\u2013bedroom place. The location wasn\u2019t ideal, but given their current circumstances, it would have to do. Later, he could use the money he\u2019d earned since his debut to buy a proper house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After signing the lease and paying the deposit and first month\u2019s rent, Leopold arranged for a moving service online before heading back to the Caldwells\u2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chester hadn\u2019t gone to work. He was waiting. Lounging on the sofa with his legs crossed, he scrolled through Leopold\u2019s Twitter feed with a contemptuous sneer. Pathetic. His entire family had been beaten down by one woman, forced to hide out at their house, and now he was on social media, wagging his tail and begging for her approval. It was a disgrace. He was embarrassing the entire Caldwell family by association.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Leopold walked in, Chester put down his phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLeopold,\u201d he drawled, \u201cdidn\u2019t you swear you\u2019d be out of here today? Your mom left early this morning, and you and Finley have been MIA. What, decided you want to freeload a little longer?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold shot him a cold look. If he weren\u2019t trying to avoid making things harder for his uncle, he never would have tolerated such disrespect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can relax. I\u2019ve already called a moving company. We\u2019ll be gone soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow soon is soon?\u201d Chester pressed. \u201cYou\u2019re not planning on mooching lunch off us too, are you? I didn\u2019t tell the kitchen to prepare anything for your family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe won\u2019t need it,\u201d Leopold said through clenched teeth. He ignored Chester and went upstairs, knocking on his father\u2019s door before entering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, it\u2019s time to pack. We\u2019re leaving.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paxton, who had been recovering at the Caldwells\u2018 for the past two days, was well aware of how they were being treated. A bitter resentment simmered within him, but there was nothing he could do. They were at the mercy of others.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But he wouldn\u2019t forget this slight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shortly after, the movers arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chester watched Leopold doing all the heavy lifting by himself, his arms crossed. \u201cDon\u2019t come crawling back here next time,\u201d he sneered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leopold ignored the taunt and, with his father, left the Caldwell house for good. By the time they had moved everything into the rental apartment, it was already one in the afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLeopold, your sister has thrown your heartfelt gesture back in your face. Twitter is a warzone right now because of you two.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold, who had just washed his hands and sat down on the sofa to order takeout, froze, his phone in his hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA warzone? Why?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had assumed his fans would rally behind him and support his sister.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paxton sighed, putting his own phone down. \u201cSee for yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold opened Twitter and saw that he and Larissa were trending. He scrolled through the <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
